Vault Intelligence is a different #AI plugin for #Obsidian that goes beyond simple Q&A by introducing agents to maintain your vault's structure, retrieve information based on your explicit connections, and ground your knowledge in the real world.

Even the best tools degrade if vault hygiene is frustrating. With 9.1, we're fixing the friction of maintenance, improving the Gardener agent, and deepening external search grounding.

@obsidian #PKM 🧵1/5

🧵2/5 🌳 Folders as Semantic Context.

Not everyone builds their vault purely with tags. If you map your mind using strict folder hierarchies, the Graph Engine can now treat your directory structure as native #semantic information—matching your existing #ontology automatically. Minimal effort for massive structural accuracy.

🧵3/5 🥲 The Gardener Cost Optimizer.

Running a maintenance agent on a mature vault shouldn't mean sifting through hundreds of "no updates". The Gardener now intelligently skips perfectly aligned files, focusing exclusively on orphaned notes. Less noise, faster execution, dramatically lower API costs.

🧵4/5 🔗 Native Link Reading.

Your vault is a powerhouse, but it's not the entire internet. The Researcher agent can now natively analyse external URLs (for #Gemini 3.1+ models), seamlessly #grounding your internal notes with external reality.

🧵5/5 🛠️ Plus fixes

We've also shipped crucial reliability fixes, hardening agent write-access boundaries, context injection, and streaming cancellation.

A massive thank you to all our beta testers who provided invaluable feedback on the new Gardener optimisations.
